Item category re-determination

Hi all,
I have a requirement to switch the item category from the default value to a new value depending on certain Z fields value at the line item level during sales order creation. I am able to switch the item category to the intended values, however, I am also facing the following issues:
1) If I add new items during create/change VA01/VA02, the item category gets determined correctly only if I add another item. I found some issue with the VBAP, *VBAP and XVBAP structures....may be I dont have the code in the right place.
2) The next issue is that, although the item category gets modified (currently working partially), the billing document data at the line item level doesnt get re-determined with the updated item category
3) The account assignment rules (Environment -> Analysis -> Account Determination) are not getting updated
Can you please suggest how do I achieve this? I would also appreciate if you could guide me through the sequence of steps that I would need to follow to make this work correctly.
Thanks,
Sandeep

I was able to fix this issue.

Why item category re-determined at delivery level

Hi Gurus
I want to know what is the purpose of redetermining item category at delivery level?

First thing to know is that Item Category determination is used only on newly added items and other specific usages like batches, product substitution, etc. It is meant for Deliveries that are not created with reference to a sales order. If you are copying an item from the order and the item category is configured as a Delivery Item category in 0lvp, SAP copies the order item category and does not redetermine it from configuration.
If you are using Product Substitution in the delivery, SAP first copies the higher level item from the Sales Order, then executes Material Determination to bring in the substitution (lower level) items. In this case the higher level item category would be from the order. Redetermined BOMs would follow the same logic as Product substitution.
In short you can redetermine items in delivery when you are using product substitution or add new Items in delivery or using Sales BOMs.
Hope its clear to you now.

Transaction Org determin. and item category Org determin. ?????

Hello all
I am working on CRM 5.0
Now I assigned a organization determination procedure to the transaction type to determine the responsible organization in the transaction, I want to know why we assigning organization determination procedure to the item category as the organizations were already determined using the transaction organization determination procedure
An example will make it clear
Regards
Jacopo Francois

Hi Jacopo,
Generally, the header org determination is used for item data but there are scenarios where this makes sense.
Answer to this question could be a question itself. How would you handle two different services in a service transaction where the two services are handled by two different org units?

Item category is not determined in CRM order

Hi Friends,
Our requirement is as follows
We have 1 sales org like Z111 and 2 distribution channels like dist chan Z1 and Z2, we want a material say for eg "material A" should be 3rd party item by assigning item category grp "BANS" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1. The same material i.e, "material A" should be standard item by assigning "NORM" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
We have done the above scnario in CRM system ( we have assigned BANS for material A in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 and NORM for the same material in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
But problem is when I create order for sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 in CRM, the item category is determined as TAN instead TAS. Item category determination is already existing the CRM system.
This scenario is working fine in my back end system i.e, R/3 but it is not wrking in CRM.
Can anyone give me some clue about this.
Thanks in advance
JM

Hi JM
First check in your CRM system if the material in extended to both the distribution channels.
Tcode: COMMPR01
Sale org tab should have entry for dist chan Z1 and Z2.
Click on Z1 and maintain iten cat grp : BANS
Click on Z2 and maintain iten cat grp : NORM
Now check your item category determination. It should have following 2 entries:
IMG > CRM > transactions > basic settings > define item category determination
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: BANS
item category: TAS
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: NORM
item category: TAN
hope this helps

Item Category Determination- Usage

Hi All,
I am looking into my system configuration for item category determination.
I know that Item category is determined based on
1. Sales document type
2. Item category group
3. Usage and
4. Higher level item cat group
Here, I came to know that Usage is determined from Customer material info record. But in my system, I see a Line item with out usage maintained in CMIR but detemined the item category relevant for usage.
Any of you guys have a thought on this?
Thank you
Kris

Item Usage is not a mandatory field in CMIR (T.Code: VD51). Hence the same can be left blank and item category will be determined accordingly.
From configuration point of view, I was refering to as under:
Sales Order Type | Item Category Group | Usage | H.L. Item cate | Default Item Category
OR | NORM | blank | blank | TAN
OR | NORM | blank | TAP | TAN
OR | NORM | APO0 | TAPA | TAN

Thanks in advance.
Sujan

Hi SujanB,
As your question is already answered. An indicator that defines the characteristics of a document item.
For example, the item category controls the type and scope of:
Pricing
Billing
Delivery
Inventory posting
Transfer of requirements
Providing further deatils ;--
01. How item category is determined :--
Depending on the item category group that you apply & the sales doc type you are processing the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.
1.sales document type (source: order type)
2.item category group (source: material master)
3.item category of the higher-level item (source: user defined)
4.item category usage (The usage is defined by SAP and is hard coded in the programs)
SPRO- IMG- SD- Sales- Sales Document- Sales Document Item- Assign Item Category (VOV4)

Item category for free goods that does not require extra free goods

Hi all,
I have created 3 item categories (ZM1J, ZM0J and ZMFJ)
ZM1J is standard item for sales
ZM0J is free goods
ZMFJ is also free goods
I have setup VBN1 for free goods "buy 10 get 1 free" and my order is including these 3 item categories
ZM1J 10 EA and ZM0J 1 EA. These 2 lines are correct as I need.
Then I give other free goods which is ZMFJ 10 EA and system is asking me to give free goods 1 EA but I don't want to give free goods for ZMFJ. I will deliver only 21 EA (10 for sales and 11 for free)
What config it should do for this case?
Another question, ZM0J is selected by default. How to manually change it to ZMFJ in sales order? This is because some case, I still need to use ZM0J.
Please advise. Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Darin

Hi,
Item category is determined by the four combination
Sales order + item category group + usage + item category at higher level.
Now you are using free goods determination procedure.
So that does not depend upon item category determination.
You have to define the item category determination so that proper delivery and proper pricing happens.
Now if you are giving 10more free item for which you have maintain free goods determination master data.
Then system will automatically give one more free goods for that material.
but if you giving some other material as a free goods then please let me know.
Give your requirement that in which way you want to process your ZMFJ then we can give you better suggestion.
To define alternative item category go to
IMG u2013 SD u2013 Sales u2013 Sales documents u2013 sales document item u2013 assign item category.
Over here you can assign alternative item category for your combination.
If you assign over here then you can change manually in the sales order.

Redetermination of item category in deliveries

Hi,
Let me explain with an example i have sales order with item category TAN and when i do delivery i want the item category should redetermine as TAS(example)
what are all the setting in need to do?
Please guide me its really urgent for me.
Thanks alot
Sridhar B

Hi,
Delivery Item category is determined based on the Delivery type assigned to your sales document, Item category group from the material master.
So if u want to redetermine the delivery type in the sales order, go to
Spro, Logistics execution, Shipping, Deliveries, Define Item Category determination in deliveries.
Here assign Item category to the combination of ur delivery type, Item category group. Then that item category will be determined automatically.

Item Category in Sales Order

hi friends,
I created one sales order..here, one item category is determined and it is editable...now i want to know
1) how is the item category determined?
2) if I'm able to change the item category, what effect it will have on the document? is it allowed?
thanks,
Viren.

Pratap,
There are two parts to your answer 1) item category is determined by the
1)sales document type
2) Item Category Group
3) Higer Value Item
4) Item Usage.
The basic function of an item category is,it tells us that what product or item u have in the order for example is it a free product if yes the item category would be called TANN which is the item category for free goods.It mainly gives u a decription of the product that you have in your order. All item categories have names like TANN. TAN which are of German Origin.
The second part is item category is useful since it tells us if
1) The item should be priced
2) If certain text items are relevant for delivery.
3) It will also tell you if the item you plan to bill is the same blocked for billing.
4) It will tell you if the item is of special stock which means is it a consignment stock.
5) It will also tell u if the item is of business items, business items are those items of which business data may vary.
Thanks,

Item category TAK in sales order.

Hi all,
Actually i am a PP guy. One of out user want customer specific planned and production order. For that he want to change item category in sales order From TAN to TAK. he want the system should directly create sales order for that item with item category TAK. I manually changrd item category to TAK tested this in sanbox but system is not creating sales order specific planned and production orders after changing item category to TAK also. I also tried changing strategy to 20, 40, 82 but item category was not TAK.
Does item category is determined by strategy group in MRP 3.
When I changed item category to TAK why planned and production order were NOT sales order specific.
Pl explain
Thanks

Hi,
how system come to know which item catwegory is to be used in sales order.
In your case, for TAK..if u check in VOV4 the item category determination must be like this...
Sales Order typeItem category grp(from Mat.master)UsageHigher level item cat.grpDefault item categ
OR0001(make to order) BlankBlankTAK
This ishow ur item categ wud get determined in sales orders...
i wanted to know waht ia significance of TAK as item category in sales order
I beleive TAK does not have any specific settings for MTO scnario..it's merely a copy of TAN..Only Item cat.grp 0001 does matter in MTO scenario...and ofcourse strat.type from PP perspective..

JJ

Item category change in contract load of CRM

Hi Guys,
i am loading contracts into CRM-intellectual property Management. i have to create 2 to 3 line items for same product in one contract with higher level items. generally item category is determined and can be changed via GUI. my requirement is i want to change item category through FM CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN by the time it creates contract but item category is not changing, showing what ever was determined.
i am passing item_type in ORDERADM_I and passing item_type field name for input fields but it is not helping me. Please let me know if any body has any clue..
Thanks for your help
Siva

Do you want to change the item category just before order (contract) save? Or after the save? Try looking at crm_orderadm_i_badi.
Another idea ... try manually changing the item category in CRM Online, BUT .. do a /h and place a breakpoint at ABAP statement "call function CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN". This way you can see the input parameters for CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN when CRM itself is changing the item category, the correct way. Then from these input parameters you can get the hint of what parameters must be passed to CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to change the item category by a direct call. I hope that made sense....
Hope it helps,
Rahul

Sales order item category per sales organization

Hi
Sorry for the question, I am FI/CO expert, and since our SD expert left us, I am also the SD expert now.
Can I define different item categories for the same sales order type for different sales orgs?
VOV4 (IMG-sales and distrebution-sales-sales documents-sales document item-assign item categories) has no sales organization parameter.
Thanks
Ofer

> Ofer
Yes, you can define different item categories (in t.code VOV7) and assign to same sales order types. The item category is determined by based on Sales document type + Item category group (from material master) + Item category usage + High level item category (check t.code VOV4).
The item categories are not assigned to sales organization, but the sales document types are assigned to sales area. Check t.code VOV8, where the sales documents are defined and in t.code OVAZ, the sales documents are assigned to sales area (sales area = sales org + distribution channel + division).
YOu can see the steps of configuration at SPRO -> Sales and distribtution ->Sales document header (related to sales document type) and then at -> Sales document item.

Item category in new GL

Hi,
Can anyone please clarify what the item category does in case of new GL accounting.
Suppose we have various item categories 20000, 30000,01000. What is the fucntion of each item category.
Suppose for revenue account, if I assign item category 20000(expense) what is the impact. Suppose for balance sheet accounts if I assign 30000(revenue), what is the impact.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Aravind

The item category characterizes the items of an accounting document.
The item category is derived from the account type and is required for document splitting.
Examples:
Customer
Vendor
Asset
Cash discount clearing
Exchange rate difference
You need to classify the individual document items so that the system knows how to handle them. You do this by assigning them to an item category. The item category is determined by the account number and against each category, you need to assign the appropriate accounts.

Item Category Change using UserExit/Enhancement

Hi,
Require your valuable inputs on the below requirement:
We have a requirement where we have to determine the Shipping Point, Plant, Storage Location and Item category from a Custom table using header Shipping Conditions.
As per the SAP standard, Shipping point and default item category are determining in Order. Currently, we will only use NORM as Gen item category group in all the material masters.
We have maintained the Custom Table with the below fields:
Sales Document Type
Sales document item category
Sales Organization
Distribution Channel
Division
Shipping Conditions
Shipping Point/Receiving Point
Plant
Storage Location
Based upon the fields we have to determine the above in the Sales Order in Create and Change and further processing.
We have already use the User Exit: MV45AFZZ, but there is inconsistency in updation of billing etc., Profitability segment, PR Etc.., we also tried with MV45AFZB, this User Exit is not getting triggered from Header level because we want to update the ItCat, ShpCon, Plant,S.Loc & Shpnt from the shipping conditions in custom table.
Please suggest me in which User Exit/Enhancement trigger point to determine the above and subsequent process should follow as per the standard process and not to deviate with other tables.
Looking for your valuable inputs on these. We were totally struck in providing this solution.
Regards,
Kumar

Dear MoazzaM,
Using the Exit: MV45AFZZ, in Routine: USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK, we have triggered our custom code to change the Item Category, Plant, Storage Location and Shipping Point. It is working fine at the Sales Order level.
But we found these are partially not updated properly
1) There is a Inconsistency in Creation of the Purchase Requisiton, where for the Individual PO, the    Storage Location remains the old one.
2) When we create the PO from the
2) In billing, at the item level, the plant and shipping point is also wrong which is not the source one from sales order and delivery, but the delivery details are correct
3) In accounting doc also, the plant is wrong.
Below is the piece of Code:
IMPORT gv_vsbed FROM MEMORY ID 'VSBED'.
IF gv_vsbed IS NOT INITIAL.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM *Custom Table*
                INTO gs_shippoint
                WHERE auart = xvbak-auart
                AND   vkorg = xvbak-vkorg
                AND   vtweg = xvbak-vtweg
                AND   spart = xvbak-spart
                AND   vsbed = xvbak-vsbed.
IF gv_vsbed NE xvbak-vsbed.
      LOOP AT xvbap INTO lwa_xvbap.
        idx = sy-tabix.
        IF xvbak-vsbed IS NOT INITIAL.
          IF NOT gs_shippoint IS INITIAL AND
             lwa_xvbap-pstyv NE gs_shippoint-pstyv.
*** Update the Item category , plant, storage location and Shipping/Receiving point.
            lwa_xvbap-pstyv = gs_shippoint-pstyv.
            lwa_xvbap-werks = gs_shippoint-werks.
            lwa_xvbap-lgort = gs_shippoint-lgort.
            lwa_xvbap-vstel = gs_shippoint-vstel.
            MODIFY xvbap INDEX idx FROM lwa_xvbap.
            UPDATE vbap FROM TABLE xvbap.
Any Suggestions
